A fun, easy going place for dinner and drinks! Came here with a large group for a birthday and it was St Patrick's day weekend and it was so cool, they brought in a bagpipe group that night too. The decor and vibe of the place had such good energy and the bartenders were also super chill and nice. There some menus going around and you order at the bar and pick up at the window. There came be a bit of a wait but they have great local craft beers to keep the vibes up! Love their oatmeal stout and the peanut butter stout. The nutrunner pale ale was another favorite of our group. The food is also great, definitely recommend the Cuban, the buffalo bleu burger, and the fish and chips! You can't go wrong with anything for the menu though and the prices are great! Very kid friendly with wood blocks and other toys they can play with. Super cool space, worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

the "food" SUCK$ -- cheap, frozen, heavily-processed "elementary school cafeteria" crap, that's filled with all kinds of chemicals & artificial ingredients, that's microwaved or deep fried in the kind of OLD OIL that makes you feel sick. AND prepared poorly: hamburgers way overcooked, burnt eggs, undercooked french fries.... read more

I apparently didn't take a single photo, but it was a really neat place, both inside and out. Plenty of interesting pieces from the factory, from breakers and power meters, to not even sure what they were. The menu was typical pub fare. I was excited to see cauliflower wings, but they were out. We tried the wings, burger, fries, and garbage fries, and the portions were generous, and food was tasty. Some of the food was picked up at the kitchen, other food was brought to the table. We ordered and paid at the bar. A great stop if hiking in the area. read more

Nice classic brewery with many tables, many beers and a decent amount of food options. I had: Coconut Battered Butterfly Shrimp (ok) House Breaded Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich (biggest sandwich ever ha, but good) Nachos (decent) House made Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting (great) read more

The atmosphere was casual and relaxing. The wings and smash burger were delicious! They had a good selection of ales, and the recommendation was spot on. read more

Went there a couple weeks back , first off there is no one to wait in you. You have to go up and order your food then bring it back to your table. Didn't expect fast food service for a brewery. My daughter is 5 and they literally gave us a can of soda instead of a cup with a lif , again we had to go up and ask for a cup with a lid. Should be obvious with a child no? Also had to ask for silverware and napkins .Food was ehh ,I have had better at Texas roadhouse with service. read more

After a bad first experience I decided to give Old Factory another try. Ordering at the bar is neither good nor bad, almost like any other business or FF (Although cannot compare to the local McDonald's). I don't remember the name of the craft beer, which was suggested, not bad, but not great either. Not really a fan of wood floors, open spaces; a group of around a dozen were at a communal table nearby, they were loud. I will say it did past the time waiting. Buzzer like what you get at Panera who h tells you your order is ready. Unfortunately the youngster in the kitchen started to give me the wrong order, quickly rectified. Ordered burger without lettuce, tomatoe and mayo, I didn't put on enough ketchup and mustard, but was good. FF were a pleasant surprise; nice texture, crispy, very good. After paying, I added the tip, which came $21+. I'm debating whether or not it was worth it, but I'm willing to give them another try after the disastrous first time. The problem in this county is places charge city prices for awful food and terrible service. I patronise another business in town because they are constantly and consistently very, very good. I get frustrated when local businesses have a variable experience. Just be forewarned, the experience could be very good or awful. read more

Best sweet potato fries and a very delicious BLT. Nice glass of rosé and apparently the beers are good too, according to my companion (and he's picky). Friendly staff, clean restrooms. read more

This was a great stop for drinks and snacks and I imagine it would be good for dinner as well. There are multiple local brews on tap, a competent cocktail list, and coconut shrimp came out hot, fast, and tasty. There's ample seating inside and out and the air conditioning is strong. Inside there's a shelf of toys and games which made it pleasant to relax as a family. There's also a glass wall to see the brewery and canning equipment, which I found way more entertaining than my kid. read more

Great beer and food. Crispy seasoned fries, pickle chips had a delicious sauce--addictive. My wrap was delicious and fresh. The beer was fresh and tasty. Nice open atmosphere, easy to order and collect food. They give you a buzzer and you go to the kitchen window to grab your food. I would definitely return. Good experience. Friendly staff. read more

I've been here multiple times because I really want this place to be awesome, and hope that it will be better the next time I visit. I can say that it hasn't been the case. I like the building and property but that's about it. The food is ok but nothing more. This would not be my first choice if I was basing it on food alone. The real disappointment for me is the beer. I usually only drink NEIPAs if I'm visiting a brewery because many NY breweries make world class versions of it, many better than VT at this point. All of the NEIPA varieties I've had here are sub par. I would describe them as flat with a sour aftertaste. None of them have been particularly hazy which in itself is a red flag. That being said I'm sure I'll give it another try, I just hope that they rethink the recipes, maybe lean on some old pros. read more

The beer, according to my husband, is very good. The food is good also. The service, as it is, was ok. They give you a buzzer when the food is ready and you go to the bar to pick it up but yesterday a young man brought it out to us. We love sitting outside. It's such a great place but I think they are missing the mark. Maybe music on weekends, more outdoor activity. We love the Partition, Stella's station & Gardiner brewing Co. read more

The food is great!!! Really good flavor and super yummy! Definitely recommend the chicken sandwich The beers are great as well! Family owned and good vibes The outdoor back area is a good vibes as well on a nice day! read more

Been here quite a few times now. The beers are great. Good variety and fresh tasting. The food is good especially the fried chicken sandwich and fries. Friendly staff. Definitely worth a stop. read more

When you arrive here take note that there is no table service . You place your order at the bar area and then pick up your food at a window . They wanted to hold on to my card and I politely declined and gave them my name which they were fine with . We are not really beer drinkers so we ordered Frose's ( frozen rose') and they were delicious . The food was pretty good except for the chicken wings ( we ordered buffalo) , they were on the larger side , greasy and no sauce . The Reuben was outstanding and I would definitely order that again . I did not really care for the checkout experience as they just run your card and you do not see a breakdown of what you were charged . It's not a deal breaker though so we will be back . read more

Not sure frozen burgers meat would constitute 4.5 stars. Save you money go somewhere else. McDonald's perhaps

Solid spot! Went here for dinner + drinks. Tried two different IPA's both were great, house Chardonnay was pretty good too. From the food menu, pork lion sandwich and fried chicken sandwich were both good (maybe slightly under flavored), Buffalo cauliflower was a bit over cooked but not bad at all, Buffalo chicken wings need improvement - boneless and pretty much looked just like the cauliflower, we couldn't tell which is what. I wasn't expecting chicken nuggets when I ordered WINGS. Good fries though. There's room for improvements but overall definitely a solid choice so I'm giving them 5 stars for trying and with the limited choices in the area, I'll take descent! There's a huge backyard with picnic tables too. Kid friendly read more

Old Factory Brewing - a table full of food - Brewpubs Near Me - Cairo, New York

Old factory brewing is such an awesome brewery! They have such a great location that is not only in the heart of Cairo (stop by on your way to windham) but also in an (surprise) old factory. They have games you can play, tvs you can watch, great staff you can talk to. They have both inside and outside seating, and a functional (delicious) kitchen! The beer is cold and delicious. If you haven't been here yet you're missing out! They do have nonalcoholic choices as well such as house made soda! read more

Came here after passing by and being intrigued by the place. My table ordered both a buffalo chicken wrap and pulled pork mac and cheese. I can say both of these items were absolutely delicious. Not to mention the flight of beers I had, so many great older styles of beer that they put there own twist on. The staff all seemed so knowledgeable and happy to give recommendations when we ordered. The name is exactly how the place felt; if you like an industrial design that still feels warm and welcoming, this brewery is for you! read more

It seems like they can't get the order right. This is the second time that I ordered the Reuben sandwich requesting a little extra sauerkraut because the first time I ordered it there was barely any. Well I guess the cook was upset with my request because not only that did I get less sauerkraut the french fries were overly fried and unedible. read more

Old Factory Brewing - Overly fried french fries with very little sauerkraut. - Brewpubs Near Me - Cairo, New York

It was great to try a new place! We were so excited to go. We would rate the food 3-4 stars and the beer only 2 and it pains us to say so. We tried 9 of the beers. The overall issue was that the beers were all pretty flat. The carbonation was missing. The burgers, fries and the onion rings were excellent. read more

I didn't love the ambience of this place but I think I would have had a whole different experience if it wasn't raining and the outdoor spaces were open. The front porch was pretty cool. The ambience inside sort of felt like a worn down church hall or something. read more

Stopped in for an unplanned Sunday lunch. The place is very cute and the food was great. Friendly staff. Jen was super nice.

Everything on the menu is delicious. If you want to chill, this place can always satisfy. read more

Old Factory Brewing - Always a hit. Never disappoints. This is always a go to for food and relaxation. Integral owners; passionate about the satisfaction. - Brewpubs Near Me - Cairo, New York

The food is delicious, my husband and I both had a classic smash cheeseburger and it was drool worthy delicious. My son also had a kids burger I have never seen him eat so fast. He said it was so good. My daughter had chicken tenders and she (a picky eater) ate it all. My husband really liked the beer. I must mention that the service was great. Donna and her husband Tim were simply delightful. It's saint Patrick's day so they gave out bead necklaces, and stickers to my kids. They also have a little corner that had games and coloring book with crayons, cars and board games. The ambiance of people was so nice and friendly. Definitely worth coming again. read more

One of the worst breweries that I have ever been to. The food was awful - it was just frozen food that was either warmed up in a microwave or put into a fryer. Nothing wrong with that if it's done well. The drinks were awful with the exception of the Brilliant Blonde. Whoever made that mango sour has never had a sour in their life. The atmosphere was mediocre and we definitely got dirty looks when we walked in. read more

Interesting raw interiors in an old local factory! Food has been pretty consistently delicious, especially the jalapeno/sauce burgers and great that the menu has expanded! The homemade ginger ale is good, but not being a beer-drinker, don't know about the beer! Ordering/paying at the bar, then picking up the meal at a nearby window is not a problem. Happy that the hours are pretty fair and consistent, especially on Sundays where we often like to go for lunch. read more

Spent the day checking out numerous breweries in the area and started at Old Factory. Very interesting building with tons of space for both indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to get a couple flights and were able to try all 9 beers which were absolutely delicious. Apart from the IPA's (not an IPA gal), I can honestly say I loved every single one! We didn't get a chance to try any of their food, but the menu looks promising as well! Can't wait to come back on our next trip to NY! read more

Love this place! The food, the drinks, the staff and the atmosphere are amazing, but what makes this place really outstanding is their love of animals. They hosted an incredible fundraiser for Saugerties Animal Shelter today. This is what community is all about!!! read more

I heard about this place on Facebook, my niece and I went in this evening and I can tell you we loved it! the decor is is great the good absolutely yummy (burger cooked to perfection) and the staff - they kill it super friendly very cool. all in all my new favorite place! absolutely love it! p.s. if you're a 70's & 80's light rock lover ...You will not be disappointed!!! read more

This place is always on point. The wings here are by far the best in the Greene County and Capital Region areas. Their garlic parm wings have this creamy sauce unlike any other I have had... it is truly outstanding. I have never had a bad meal here; all of their food is consistently well prepared and delicious. The bartender, Shannon, is a true professional and always makes us feel welcomed. The owners, Tim Sr. and Tim Jr., are always friendly and welcoming... they are rock-solid in the community and are great supporters of local charities. I love their system for ordering food... you place your order at the bar and are given a "buzzer" that lets you know when your food is ready to pick up at the kitchen window. No waiting for busy servers to take your order, bring your food, and then waiting to find them to get a check... it is really a smart business model. Overall, this is one of the best places in Greene County NY. read more

Went here on Saturday night while visiting some friends in Cairo. Nice beer selection, although they were out of Kolsch which I wanted. Had a blonde ale which was pretty good although not much of a head. All 4 of us had the fish and chips. Big serving. we could have shared 2 orders. Lots of fries came with each order. You order at the bar where you get your beer and then pick up your food at a separate window. Food came quickly. Large area inside. Nice addition to Cairo. we will return! read more

Just had our first visit to Old Factory Brewing. Had 2 glasses of Kolsch brew, very refreshing malt sweetness. Had the wings with bacon BBQ sauce and the Jerk chicken wraps. These wraps are stuffed with chicken and served with great fries. You order at the bar when you get your beer and pickup food at a window. Big dining room and outside beer garden. Huge homemade custom bar top for seating plus front porch. read more

Attended on a Friday prior to New Year's Eve at 1pm - beers were unappetizing (flat & warm), had to pay immediately for those beers, ordered food (tenders & fries) - had to pick up at the window (no waitress) 4 minutes later.... fries were soggy & no tenders present but chicken nuggets were.... really confusing setup here. Go down the road to freehold or the brass rail. read more

Great little place in Cairo NY. Beers were OK but food was great. Nice atmosphere and fun family friendly place. The live music was a treat on Saturday night. Get the Buffalo Cauliflower!!! read more

Really great space in Cairo, NY. The inside is huge and there is plenty of space outdoors on the front porch and in the beer garden out back. This is obviously a family run business and it was a joy meeting Tim Sr. (behind the bar) and Tim Jr. (the head brewer). The food was simple bar fare, just what you'd expect. As nice as everyone was and as much as we liked the space, the beer was uniformly sub par. We tried 12 of the 13 beers they had on tap (they had just run out the Cream Ale) and we struggled to find one that we'd like a full pint of. Quite a few of the beers shared the same flaw, so we can't help but assume the problem is an overall process issue. We write this review reluctantly as the folks running The Old Factory couldn't have been nicer and we didn't have the heart to share our honest opinion about the beer with them while we were there. We're hoping this review helps them to realize that good location and great intentions aside - if you want to be a successful brewery the beer has to be good. They have only been open a few months and are not quite there yet but we wish them the best of luck as they mature and move forward. read more

Tim and his family run a great shop here. Classic IPAs, dog friendly and amazing food. Nice patio and close to town.

This place is great! Just what Cairo needed with great beer and an amazing Chef making the menu! Cant wait to see what the future holds for this place, will make this a regular spot! read more

The food was amazing! And the Tim's took the time to talk about their beer and drinks (also very good). They were all very helpful and friendly. I would go back sooner if I didn't like 45 mins away. But very much worth the trip. read more
